Steal a mummy from the museum? Cool, collected Emlyn loves the idea. The mummy, Princess Amaral-Re, is the main attraction in the small city museum, and Emlyn has been fascinated by her since she was a child. Besides, she has always wanted to do something secret... and bad. So she coolly agrees to mastermind the theft when Lovell, Maris, Jack, and Donovan approach her with their plan. But the second part--hanging the mummy in the high-school bell tower for Mischief Night--Emlyn isn't so sure about that.
Emlyn begins to figure out how to stay in the museum past closing, how to fool the guards, how to outwit the hidden cameras, and what to do with the mummy after she carries it out the door onto the busy sidewalk. But on the night of the theft, in spite of her meticulous planning, step after step goes awry. Emlyn must use all her wits to pull off the heist. Then, in an ironic twist, she finds that the real enemies, the people she must really outwit to save Amaral-Re, are her accomplices.
Caroline Cooney's many well-crafted thrillers, beginning with The Face on the Milk Carton, continue to delight readers, and Mummy is an especially heart-thumping adventure for her fans. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell

There is not a single character you can like except for the peripheral adult characters. Emlyn is a thoroughly obnoxious, unpleasant and completely implausible character. She is a stupid girl who has a stupid fantasy -- stealing the mummy. The kids who join her in this museum heist are equally detestable -- they not only threaten Emlyn, but they insist on sharing the booty they feel the mummy will yield. It has a slightly macabre twist -- the concept of grave robbing is always daunting at best, revolting at worst and yet the young marauders get off scot free. I wish Emlyn had been punished to the fullest extent of the law and her band of accomplices along with her. I hated Emlyn and found her to be a very unsympathetic character. I didn't like the book and felt the story was a complete bust. I'd like to see Emlyn entombed, never to be resurfaced.

There's a big difference between romantic fantasies of being a thief and the reality of actually doing it. Emlyn has always dreamed of committing the perfect crime. Four classmates want to steal the mummy from the local museum and hang it from the school's bell tower as a Senior Prank. They think Emlyn can be a big help.
Emlyn "cases the joint." The theft is possible. In fact, she's already acquired a copy of the museum's master key! Faced with her big chance, Emlyn has second thoughts but despite her conscience, she finds herself standing in the museum with mummy in hand. Then her real problems begin.
"Mummy" is typical of Caroline B. Cooney's writing. She starts off with a normal person or group and each act follow plausably from those preceeding. Yet somehow the characters find themselves in some exciting, dramatic dilemma. There are often a few curves along the way as well. In this novel, getting out of trouble is not as simple as returning a stolen mummy, though not for the reasons you might expect. The author explores the characters' thoughts and feelings while still keeping the plot moving at a satisfying pace. I find myself identifying with the main character so thoroughly while reading, that it takes a few moments for me to be able to return to my own reality when I quit. Days later, I find myself still thinking about the issues raised.
I'm sure I'll never again see a mummy in a museum without thinking of Emlyn and her adventures.
Enjoy!

Caroline B. Cooney's Mummy is a story about a sly girl who can get away with any security when it comes to stealing. One fateful night, Emlyn went into the museum to steal a beautiful Egyptian mummy. On that fateful night, everything becomes a failure. Caroline B. Cooney's Mummy is a vivid book, filled with excitement and adventure, it keeps you reading the book until you turn to the last page of Mummy.

Not Cooney's best
13. April 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Emlyn is a good girl. At least that's what everybody thinks until she steals a 3,000 year old Egyptian mummy from a museum for a high-school prank. But when the other members of her "team" forget about the prank part, she begins to wish it never happened.
After reading other titles from the author, such as "Wanted" and "Losing Christina", I was disappointed with this book. This is not Caroline B. Cooney at her best. The plot is not that great, and the ending was a big let down. Also, there are many typos and editorial mistakes that I was surprised to see from a big company like Scholastic. If you are going to read Cooney, try "Wanted", but I would not recommend this one.
